Consumer Description

IN AUGUST OF 2001 WHEN I PURCHASED THIS CAR I FELT A RATTLE ON MY BRAKES WHICH IS STILL THERE. MY POWER WINDOWS ARE SCRATCHED FROM ROLLING UP AND DOWN. PAINT AROUND THE SPOILER AND BUMPER AND ON THE ROOF IS CHIPED OFF. I HAD TO REPLACE THE GENERATOR IN 2002. I HAD TO HAVE THE INTAKE MANIFOLD SEALS REPLACED IN 2002. (3.4L V6) I HAD TO HAVE THE WATERPUMP REPLACED IN SPRING OF 2003. NOW THE HEAD GASKETS ARE BROKEN THE INTAKE MANIFOLD SEALS AGAIN ARE BROKEN. MY TRANSMISSION IS NO LONGER WORKING. IN OTHER WORDS I CAN NOT DRIVE MY CAR ANYMORE; IT IS SITTING MY GARAGE. THE COST AMOUNTS TO MORE THAN THE CAR IS WORTH IN DOLLARS AND I STILL OWE $9.500 ON THIS CAR.
